So i'm on the last major mission in the game next to evacuation and when I try and free the solder in the fridge after destroying the antenna when I select "lets go" ma game just keeps crashing. Is there any advise I can do to fix this bug? I have earlier saves in case I need to revert and do anything different. Anyone else have this happen and find out the trigger or a workaround? The only thing that comes to mind is that if I recall in the base game you only got 1 timed explosive but I got 2 off the body (thought it was kind of strange) and that I run the armed zone add on. Anyone have any feedback for me?

Edit alife.ltx with notepad. Change the switch_distance to 30. After the cut scenes end, save and edit it back to the original value.

Is there a guide for this? Also I know this sounds a bit odd but would you be willing to walk me through it via something like team viewer? I must admit I'm a bit of a moron when it comes to installing or editing mods but once I've seen how it's done I can kind of go through it via memory.

I just got off the highway from a long trip. I will write it out in detail (where to find the file, how to edit it, what it should look like) in a little while.

Or, you can tell me what alife switch distance you chose during installation (the default was 300 meters) and I can edit a copy of the file and tell you where to copy and paste it to :)

Find alife.ltx. It should be in your gamedata/configs folder. Rename it alifeorig.ltx. Download this file Dropbox.com

Copy it into your gamedata/configs folder.

Open you last save before talking to the medic. Talk to the medic, wait through the cut scenes and save. Exit the game. Delete alife.ltx from your gamedata/configs folder. Rename the alifeorig.ltx to alife.ltx and restart game and all should be as before :)

I think I set the distance to max, sorry for the slow response had a very busy week

900m? Not many systems could handle that crash free for long. It doesn't matter though, rename the original file, copy the one in the link and you can get though that conversation without problems. Restore your original after.

High settings on the switch_distance allow wildlife and NPC's to wander and interact too much and often story NPC's can get killed off. It is not unrealistic, but some deaths are easier to work around than others. I suggest 400-500m max. At the default 300m the alife radius includes 4X as much area and nearer 10x as much life as the vanilla game. If you notice a lot of dropping frame rates, lowering the switch_distance closer to the default will help considerably.

The good news is that bug is fixed for 2.2 :) Happy Hunting!
